Charles Deaner was the first settler in Montcalm County area in 1860. In 1874, George W. O'Donnell founded the village. He named this settlement after his wife Vesta Burgess O'Donnell. In 1875 Mr. O'Donnell platted the land, and on September 14 of the same year became its first postmaster. Two years later November 30, 1877, the post office was closed. It was however restored a year later January 2, 1878.
